Hello all,

I run Webalizer for a load-balanced webserver farm with several
name-based virtual hosts (each vhost logs in a different file). I have
a daily cron that pushes all the logfiles from each webserver to my
log processing box, where a separate instance of webalizer runs for
each vhost with a different configuration file. This works just fine,
but recently - 10 days or so back - some more webservers were
introduced into the load balanced pool, but my webalizer setup wasn't
updated along with that.

I have all the unimported log files stored safely, and I am looking
for the right method of importing them into webalizer. From my reading
of the docs, I figure I should just remove the .current & .hist files,
run webalizer for the missing log files, remove .current and .hist
once again, and then let normal processing resume. Is that the right
approach?
